Last time I checked, the world had about 6.5 billion residents. If the population continues to increase at estimated rates, we will find ourselves at an unsustainable level. So, what do we do?

I say we begin plans to colonize space, but how?

I have heard others say
Lunatics-"just go kill ____."
Students- "We can't have that many people here...." and then walk away without saying anything more.
"Realists"- "Some will just starve"

So, what should we (the world) do? Let's hear some plausible ideas.

Have you ever charged an attack chopper, emptying your AK at it and screaming "WOLVERINES!!"

with over 1 billion people starving you could argue it is already unsustainable.gm modified crops can produce enough food to feed everyone.its just the environmentalists(WHO ARE WELL FED)that protest against gm crops.bet they wouldnt if they were fucking starving.see P & T Bullshit for a well rounded gm argument

Hmm...well I'm gonna say most likely a war. Those who are starving will go get it by other means even by war if they see fit. Then again wars have helped to control population since the very beginning. Just wonder how it should be done

it's called sex ed
if you are so familiar with the numbers then you know that it's abundantly clear what the problem is
most first world nations have negative population growth this is attributed to education, and on top of education sex ed
third world nations have positive population growth sometimes growth as high as 3 and a half percent...

there you go
problem solved
add "colonize space" to your dumb scenarios for solving this problem.

Simple, mankind is going to blast itself back into the stone age and completely ravage the face of the planet.

What remains of our species will be stuck into an existential level of society until we're extinct.

Seriously, 6.5 billion humans on a planet the size of Earth? With religion, poverty and lack of common sense still thriving? Our fate is sealed. And we have no1 to blame except ourselves.

ww3 will play an important part in getting rid of people, not that i want it too, but it most likely will.

Yes, war and disease have been important in population control. I was looking for a positive solution though. I know teraforming is still kind of out there, but I think it deserves some more research.

That's because they all want to have boys. I think they abort the girls since they can only have one child.

Yup that's excatly why and they wouldn't abort the baby, they would hide the pregnancy and bind the childrens feet and drown them at the river. But that was back in the day but I belive the stats are 8 men to every 1 woman, all so they didn't have to pay a dowerly(spelling).

well... for now let's just wait and see how much damage the birdflu will do.

the next pandemic is long overdue and historically seen these things have sometimes put a mayor blow to population. especially in poorer countries with too little hygene. and usually those are also the countries with high birth rates.

seriously guys
the world population is only ballooning in nations with poor education, nations with adequate education have negative population growth (in other words population shrinkage)... nations with inadequate education have population growth as high as 3.5%
think about it if you can manage to abandon your sensationalist fantasies.

And for the idiots who have no logic at all: That means that a solution would be to educate everyone...

The paradox is only a conflict between reality and your feeling what reality ought to be.

Exactly. I doubt there are/were many abortion facilities around.

I am with this guy. educate the people and they will find other ways to entertain themselves instead of f****** around like rabbits.

the sad reality is that those who cannot be fed will indeed starve. that is already common in africa, where tenths of thousands of people die each year simply because they cannot be fed. It is a self-regulatory process that is inherent to nature.

If guys kept their cocks in their pants, and broads kept their legs closed, you wouldn't have:

Overpopulation
AIDS Epidemic
Starvation

Instead of screwing all the time, amybe concentrate on learnin ghow to read and write, and quit blaming everybody else for your woes.

Self-accounatbility is the problem. The world bails everybody out all the time regardless of why they are in the predicament they are in.
